On the heels of Steve Phillips on on the “Today Show” and Tiger Woods in rehab for sex addiction, England has a scandal of their own. John Terry is under fire for an affair he had with a teammate’s girlfriend. Due to the publicity, Terry was stripped of his captaincy of the English national soccer team. And if that wasn’t bad enough, there are more details emerging about his sleeping around and how that may have affected his finances.
The press wasn’t kind to John Terry in 2009. The News of the World essentially set his dad up to broker a cocaine deal. Now, The Daily Mail is reporting the dirt on his many affairs:
The disgraced footballer – sacked as England captain last week – is said to have paid the women to prevent them going public about their relationships.
The heavy bill for his extra-marital liaisons has prompted searching questions about £170,000-a-week Terry’s wealth after it emerged that the mortgage on his family home is now far bigger than the £2.75million purchase price of the property.
So now his sex scandal has been combined into a financial scandal. The paper also reports he may have a gambling problem. Terry is said to have offered his mistress, model Veronica Perroncel (who was also the girlfriend of a teammate), between £400,000 to £750,000 not to sell her story. And he isn’t exactly a billion-dollar athlete like Tiger Woods. He makes about £9million a year from his soccer contract plus a £4million contract to endorse Umbro equipment.
Terry has apparently mortgaged his house four times in seven years. The current mortgage is for about £3.95million which is £1.25million more than the purchase price. He’s also said to have sought extra cash by giving an “unofficial tour” of his team’s training grounds and scalping access to his VIP box at Wembley Stadium.
